Sometimes #SamplingMars has its surprises. Hear from one of my scientists about the first sample I collected, and how we made Martian “lemonade” when Mars gave us a lemon. 🔴 🍋

El Niño is back. 🌊
On June 8, 2023 @noaa declared El Niño conditions – known for warmer than average sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific that can bring cooler, wetter conditions to the U.S. Southwest and drought to the western Pacific. go.nasa.gov/3JokwXH

El Niño Returns
The climate phenomenon emerged in late spring 2023, as waters grew warmer and sea levels rose higher than usual in the tropical Pacific Ocean.go.nasa.gov
El Niño can be seen in sea surface height, as warmer waters pile up due to weakening trade winds, raising sea level.
This map shows sea surface height anomalies from the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich and Sentinel-3B satellites for June 1-10, 2023. go.nasa.gov/3JokwXH

🧀 No, it’s not made of cheese, but there are many great things to digest about our Moon. It contains layers, with heavy materials like iron at its core and a surface covered in dust and rocks.
Here's a taste of what the Moon is made of: moon.nasa.gov/inside-and-out/c…

Seasonal sea ice is breaking up in Canada’s James Bay. 🧊
@nasa’s Terra satellite captured this image on June 2, 2023, when little fast ice (ice fastened to the surrounding coastlines) remained. Typically, fast ice grows in December and breaks up in May. go.nasa.gov/3CDnT9l
#NASAEarth
Notice the stain?
Much of the ice is stained with sediment, which Canadian scientists say is typical and may be caused by tides stirring up sediment that gets into the ice and concentrates on the surface as the ice melts. go.nasa.gov/3CDnT9l
#NASAEarth
I suspect that this happens slowly because the sediment is not reflective like clean ice.
Sort of like Frost Lift.
